Since when did MTV play Korean music?

[gannon133]

Yeah, since when Mtv started going Korean? Did they realized that they make better music? Might actually start watching Mtv for other Korean artists to appear.

MTV Iggy has always been sort of more focused on Indie, worldwide, etc sort of music. It's not a recent trend for artists like this to be mentioned on MTV. Even Utada had an old MTV story done on her back in the day, it's just that Korean music is becoming as popular as it is in the US that makes these appearances happen more.

Neither 2NE1 or Girls' Generation have released their US albums or maxi-singles so they're essentially doing "pre-promotion". It also helps that people like Snoop Dog and Will.I.Am. are vouching for these groups and telling the music industry to pay attention to them.

Thank you then Kanashimi, I really wish they did spread their influence further over here in the states. Anyway, CL talking in English is really hot during their interview before their performance XD.

Well, CL speaks fluent English. Personally CL is my favorite, she always has this amazing stage presence that you don't see from a lot of people. :)

In fact, here's an example as CL does an English interview with BBC.

"Music has no language" Truer words have never been spoken. <3

I've decided CL is pretty much my spirit animal. :D
